I shall make the sketches you requested.

Here's the first, I'll edit in the others as I complete them:




This is the top, mind you that thing in the middle is a 120mm fan:




This is the right, and those are the hinges I was talking about earlier:




Front:




And finally, the back. That is a 120mm fan. It it on the top of the two sections.

Cool. I'm going to visit my grandma in Phoenix. One of her neighboors has wireless internet, but if I can't get that to work I'll be on dial up. So I may not be able to respond as quickly.

and maybe if you're open for some suggestions, ill make a another design/model based on my suggestions.

McStuff

And I forgot to include the handle over the top 120mm fan btw. I am open to suggestions, as I am eager to make any improvements. However, I would like it to remain rather simplistic.

I can give it a go in Sketch-Up if that's the kind of "sketch" your looking for. I have a lot of work on my plate at the moment, but this weekend I'll have the time.

here it is! its just a quick render of your project. in order for you to visualize

[IMG][/IMG]

that thing in the right is based on your original design ang that on the left is wiht I/O panel at the back. by the way i dont think thats the better idea(exhaust/intake fan placements). air cant circulate well over your system. i have an idea, n im working on it. it would be similar to your design plus the better airflow circulation, I/O panel, Optical drive... lots of suggestion. ill be posting it in 2 days or less. ill be posting a full details (including dimensions, materials used, etc).

and by the way, are you gonna use aftermarket cooler for the cpu? and i suppose you will be using a GPU card, pls inform me ASAP so that i could include it im my revisions. just PM me.

Adios!

mate, here's my suggestion:






the image in the left is the front view while the rear view is at the far right.

In the front panel, i allocate LCD poster (uppermost) 2 USB's. Audio I/O, power button and an optical drive at the bottom. while I/O panel, PCI-E bracket, 70mm intake fan, and PSU access at the bottom on the rear panel.







the image in the left is the acrylic skeletal frame of your case, the image in the right shows how the main cover opens (like the LP640, haha!). the hinge is places at the top of the back panel and connects to the top cover.
your exhaust fan will be a 2 60mm fans facing down.

i painted the case with high-gloss white on the covers and matte grey for the frame.

i will make a follow-up post on the dimensions, material positioning and the air circulation diagram.

Syrillian

Better and better
